Equinix opened SG6 in Singapore on November 6, adding capacity for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and data-intensive workloads. The company said in its press release that the facility is its sixth International Business Exchange data center in the city-state.

Equinix stock traded at 969.20 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 5:00 p.m. CET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, up 7.38 percent from 902.60 euros in our November 5 report. The comparison reflects the move since that report and is separate from any daily Xetra comparison.

SG6 targets dense AI workloads

The first phase represents an initial investment of approximately 290 million US dollars and provides 8 MW across approximately 1,550 cabinets. Full build-out is planned to reach up to 20 MW of IT capacity, giving Equinix additional infrastructure in one of Asia-Pacific's key connectivity markets.

SG6 is designed for high-density AI deployments through proprietary cooling systems and liquid-cooling capabilities for power-intensive GPU infrastructure. Equinix also cited rooftop and facade solar photovoltaic systems, rainwater harvesting and lower-embodied-carbon construction materials. The site is designed for a power usage effectiveness ratio of 1.20 and is targeting Green Mark Platinum certification.

Research partnership follows in 2027

Equinix plans to open a Co-Innovation Facility at SG6 with the National University of Singapore in 2027. The facility is intended to focus on liquid cooling, cognitive digital twins and battery energy storage systems, linking the Singapore expansion with research on data center sustainability and energy efficiency.

For investors, SG6 adds physical capacity to Equinix's exposure to cloud connectivity and AI infrastructure demand. The company has not disclosed SG6-specific customer revenue or utilization figures, so the near-term financial contribution cannot be measured from the opening announcement alone.
